Physical attraction (the most important thing).
Posted : 1 Jul, 2011 10:24 PM

I have an idea, let's have a photo rating system, I was thinking numbers 1 through 10. 1 being inhumanly ugly and 10 being stunning.

Who all is willing to go under the microscope?

I think it's a great idea. After all physical tops spiritual any day. I mean you can't see spirit, you can't touch it.

Personality? That's overrated, what century are you from?!



Just because we're Christians doesn't mean we don't have standards for beauty!

God bless

I will...

...you sound angry, but I think you miss our meaning, and it sounds like it makes you feel insecure, and angry. I don't know how best to convey the very nature of a man...or maybe you know, and you don't except it.



...But aren't there crucial things that men don't understand about women...what about a woman's need to feel secure, heard, etc the need to know she is the woman that is the epicebter of his life, that she fills his vision and his heart...how do you teach a man knoledge he was not born with??

God's emphasis throughout the Word of god is about the heart, and love, and doing unto others as you'd have them do unto you.



You aren't born with what you need to know, that's why God gave us the bible to read.



1 Peter 3:3-5 -

Do not let your adorning be external�the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear� 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God�s sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands



God's beauty tips have to do with a meek and gentle spirit..

I see no mention of appearance.

Telling me I'm insecure (about my physical appearance, I'm sure) might make you feel better about how you view women, and you will leave this post with the feeling that I'm overreacting instead of gaining conviction from the word of God.

It will not harm me in the long run what you take away from what I've said, I am hoping your heart will be changed on this matter someday, though.

Don't let a few shallow men rune it for the rest. It's also not true that men only want perfection in the looks department. I have meet lots of girls that are just as bad. Some that are single because they are just concerned with looks.



As well I have meet men with not that great looking ladies that found them beautiful. This because they were in love with the full package. Not just the out side. Those that have not learned that are just holding there selves back in the long run.



You can not change some one. Only God can by letting them see and grow. Yes you need to be attracted to some one to fall in love but not just from what you can see. In my opinion a big part of what makes some one beautiful is what is reflecting from with in.

lol...I said it "sounds like" I think if you look in the context of what Peter wrote I think you will gain more understanding.



If you want to believe that men are not to account for thier inborn attraction to particular types of women, by all means go ahead lol.

Who are you calling shallow, are you talkin at me, if so I find that very offensive...have you no more love than to adress me your brother personally.......

....



ITs very simple ladies looks play a factor along with other things, why is that concept so hard to understand!!!! It dosen't make me shallow if I dont like a woman because I am not attracted to her, if you dont like thats fine, if you disagree thats fine, but dont treat me as if I am not beloved of my Father, and i may just have a better understanding of this than you think.

Rabbit32 I was not talking to you. If I was do you not think I would address you? I can not judge some one whom I do not know. Plus I am not one to judge any one.



My statement was ment to state that one should not judge every one based on a few.

MsMarvel, I think you are assuming that when a guy states he has a standard of what he considers to be beautiful, you interpret it to mean perfection. Most guys have an �ideal� woman in mind, but they are very happy to marry someone who does not meet that ideal. The difference is that they will not find EVERY woman attractive, the more she differs from his ideal, the less likely he will find her attractive.



But, as we have tried to tell you before, beauty is not the ONLY thing that men look at (well at least most men). If this were true, models and actresses wouldn�t have such a hard time finding someone. I have heard plenty of men describe women as very beautiful but, she a b****. As i_live_in_canada states, it�s the total package.



Oh, and you might want to read Song of Solomon. It might give you a different idea about what the Bible has to say about beauty.



Song of Songs 1:15 (NASB)

15 "How beautiful you are, my darling, How beautiful you are! Your eyes are like doves."

Song of Songs 2:14 (NASB)

14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your form, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your form is lovely."

Song of Songs 4:1-7 (NASB)

1 "How beautiful you are, my darling, How beautiful you are! Your eyes are like doves behind your veil; Your hair is like a flock of goats That have descended from Mount Gilead.

2 "Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes Which have come up from their washing, All of which bear twins, And not one among them has lost her young.

3 "Your lips are like a scarlet thread, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil.

4 "Your neck is like the tower of David, Built with rows of stones On which are hung a thousand shields, All the round shields of the mighty men.

5 "Your two breats are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle Which feed among the lilies.

6 "Until the cool of the day When the shadows flee away, I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh And to the hill of frankincense.

7 "You are altogether beautiful, my darling, And there is no blemish in you.

men are visual...that's all there is to it.

if they were like us, then the world would be full of women :)



we should definitely keep up our physical appearance and more importantly, keep our hearts pliable, teachable and in love with God...it gives us a glow that comes from within.



not all men will find us attractive but that's ok, we only need ONE.
